Why George Strait NEVER Became a Member of the Grand Ole Opry

One of the anomalies in Country music is "The King" George Strait is not a member of the Grand Ole Opry, and he has barely even stepped foot into the famous Opry house. Rumors have circulated through the years as to why George Strait has never been a member of the Grand Ole Opry, but it may not be as complicated as most fans think. This video details the real reason why George Strait is not a member of the Grand Ole Opry.

George Strait has remained faithful to country music. I can't say the same for the Grand Ole Opry.

@ACTblessed Жыл бұрын

Exactly! Thank you! Finally, somebody who gets it and shares my view, which just happens to be the TRUTH! I'm a big fan of country, but I can't tell you any of the current top ten people, songs, etc. I tried to watch the Opry recently to share it with my young daughter. I was a little younger than she when I had the privilege of being backstage at the Opry, visiting Opry land Hotel, & getting to be in the audience for a show. I recall being aware of the history, despite my youth. My uncle sang back up with the likes of the late, great Dottie West and Martha Carson, the latter whom I thought was like a great aunt. I actually cried & had to turn off the TV because I'm not sure what those folks were singing, but it sure wasn't country music! Furthermore, I don't know who's in charge of the Opry now, but how DARE you put the circus acts in the circle where Aunt Martha, Patsy, Minnie, George, Roy, and Johnny all stood. The circle has been broken.

I appreciate George Strait and all his decades of true, authentic country music. He chose not to join the Grand Ole Opry for one reason, it was told you had to appear a certain amount if times live there every year. George stated that he lived in Texas and could not meet that requirement with his home being in Texas, as well as his massively busy touring schedule at the time. I respect t him for that decision. I have seen George over 10 times in concert, and he never disappoints me. I miss seeing him in concert as he doesnt tour as extensively as before, but I do respect his decision to do so for his own health. He is a true country gentleman, and he is keeping it real. God bless you, George, and keep on being you. That is perfect for your true fans. It is the Grand Ole Opry's loss, in my opinion.

I was born in South Philadelphia surrounded by rock stations. My father listened exclusively to jazz. My grandfather played bass fiddle in a band for a few bucks a week in the 50's. There were no country stations in Philly. I didn't even know what country was back in my teens. Then we moved to Lancaster, Pa. I was exposed to Don Williams, Willie, Johnny, and so many others. Now I listen to country and 70-90's rock. But truthfully, there are not many acts I listen to in the modern country arena. But I love Chris Stapleton, Ashley McBride, Miranda, and so many more. But if George Strait is playing. I stop whatever I'm doing and just enjoy!

GEORGE STRAIT is the best in the genre in my deep personal opinion his music brings me back to a time nothing like the one we are in now I have no word to express how much I love his music been a fan as long as I can remember I went to a old western shop called Duffys and got me a nice black cowboy hat amd I remember asking shape my hat just like GEORGE STRAIT there was a cardboard cut out of the man in the store I was like 5 amd that is my earliest memory of my THE COUNTRY SINGER .....

The King of Country Music does not need -- and never has needed -- the Grand Ol' Opry. They have ridiculous appearance and compliance rules that force performers to conform to them, and George is no conformer. Y'all can keep your "country" rockers over there in Nashville. We've got George Strait and that's one heck of an Ace in the Hole! God bless Texas!

As much as I love seeing some of the artists at the Opry. I understand why so many artists are not members. It's hard enough to try and live a normal life just with the commitments he has on his own. He is very much a family man and loves spending time on his ranch,Raising top horses and horse events in his home state. God Bless You George.

There are 12 or 15 that are and will always be the best, I'll not list them and argue about it. I will say that any country great list that does not include Mr. George Strait, is an incomplete list, I still get chills listening to his incredible God given gift.

@deanlambert5002 Жыл бұрын

This is unbelievable. There's got to be something else. There are so many new artists who are already members, such as Luke Combs who is great, but only recently was a "best new artist." So, longevity does not appear to be important. If the Opry is a "Nashville Country Club," I am sure Strait doesn't give a hoot. It's the Opry's loss.

There is no need to bash the Opry in this. I went there. They discussed the reason George did not join the Opry. And yes...it was HIS choice. It was because he didn't feel he could give them the time and effort to play as the requirements are. It's as simple as that. They discussed it, he didn't feel he could give them the time that was required, so he decided not to do it.

George Strait played on the Opry stage in March, 1991 on a Thursday night during the annual County Music Radio Seminar. I happened to be back stage at that concert and remember it well. Although it was not the Saturday night Grand Old Opry, he did play the Opry stage that night.

I always regret that my wife and I never got to see George Strait in concert. We have several of his CD's that we take with us on trips and vacations and play them religiously. He is "Pure Country". As far as the Grand Ole Opry is concerned in recent decades it has become more of a genre for young rock star wannabe's. We go on vacations in Tennessee but really have no desire to go to the Opry.

Just my opinion, which like everyone else's, doesn't really amount to much, but the Opry is a Nashville club, not necessarily a country music club. It revolves around those who live in that area, and are willing to make the commitment. And we have seen newer artists who have been made members who don't come close to fitting the bill. George is a Texas guy, born and bred. He's not willing to commit to 26 dates/year, which I can understand. No one in country music today, or on the horizon, will come close to his accomplishments. He doesn't need the Opry, and that's fine.

Strait made old country music cool again when he came along. Country was going pop and Nashville was being taken over by the corporations. He never left his style and sound. Fans loved him for that. The Opry was changing as well. George always had a tour schedule from hell. He went out to his fans. Believe me, they loved him for that. George is a Texan. He loves Texas, and that is where he wanted to be. I don't think he ever gave the Opry much thought really.
